    Instrument Panel Cleaner

    What is a good product to clean the rather delicate plastic covering the instrument panels? A streak free chemical for plastic would be nice, however most of them appear too harsh for this type of plastic. Any recommendations?

    I use a soft microfiber and some interior dressing, always does a good job of cleaning instrument cluster lens IMO

    Einszett cockpit premium has my vote. I use it all the time on stuff like nav screens, instrument panels, etc

    I usually wax them with my finger, ha. Sounds weird...but if you use something with fillers in it, it will mask those little scratches.

    don't necessarily have a product of choice for this. But, I have this gallon of Eagle One Nano sealant someone gave to me that has fillers in it. I basically use it for that to use it up. Nothing against the Eagle One stuff...but it goes on crazy thick, even with a DA. Drives me nuts. But hey...works great on instrument lenses, lol.

    I have some of that junk (Nano) somewhere. I'll have to give it a try

    Re: Instrument Panel Cleaner

    Great question. I was wondering others were using this weekend.

    I typically use a slightly water-damp MF followed by a clean dry MF or OG plastic polish.

    The OG is good for headlights, cowl farings and plastic convertable windows that have yellowed too.

    Stuff is ok. For a cheaper product it does it's job. But removing it isn't that pleasurable. It dusts, and kinda fights you a bit.
